24 August 2013 Dear Sir

A truck containing goods was seized at checkpost. All the documents were found to be okay. However the sale bill had wrongly mentioned name of the purchser as ABC Ltd. which however was ABC Private Limited.

The TIN and CST nos. mentioned in the invoice are however correct.

The Officer says he shall levy 5% penalty on the invoice value of goods.

What should we do?

25 August 2013 It is minor clerical error which can be ignored. Once the TIN no tallies the purchases will go to the account of the consignee company only. Try to convince the check post men by filing an application in writing,if don't succeed pay with a protest. Then file an apeal and get it refunded. Sometimes senior authorities also can help you in getting the vehicle released.....mjk
